VIA to Launch Another "Paper" GPU This Year?

[OVERLORD]

Returning to the initial question, I think that all of you should have in mind that the vast majority of S3`s best people left before/after the graphics division was bought by VIA, so chances are that these new chips have little in comon with S3`s ancient attempts. The only thing that links them is S3`s old roadmap, that seems to be followed by Via to a certain extent. On a side note, people, would you please CHILL!!

Agreed! May common sense prevail.

Now that you're answering S3's cause. How about answering a few questions.

What became of the Z400 & Z600 projects that were rumored. Did they ever get T&L fully operational? Why no DDR parts?

Why are you asking me? I don't work at S3 anymore. Neither does hax, Dio, andypski, or a couple others. Maybe you should talk to someone who works at S3?

iro of performance my S4 was as fast in UT, QIIIA, Kingpin and Expendable IIRC at 800x600 as my V3 I got to replace it was at 1024x768. Cant remember how Glide v MeTaL ended up, of course IQ wise S4 won hands down.
